Opinions and help

Maker: Rmxp
Type of resource requested: Equip Screen layout
Tile size in pixels: Default
Describe what it is you want here:

Hi, I got a custom equip screen which is still in the making because it has a few empty spaces on the sides and it doesn't look that good because of it.

Now what I need is someone who could draw a layout of how they think the equip screen would look better.

Here's a picture of the current setup I made with paint:

(The battler with icons around it is a script so that one can't be changed in the screen layout)

Any opinions/ideas of how it could be better? (I was thinking of instead of having the words "W - Next character" showing there would be 4 faces depending on what actors there are in party with a border over the face of the character that is being viewed.)

Thanks.
 
I think maybe moving the icon and the name of the equipment that's highlighted from the top to the bottom "info" area. There's two reasons I say this: it would be more visible (at least for me) and it would fill in the info area a little. That would give you room at the top to put the character faces/sprites and keep the note that W switches characters. I'm unable to draw any kind of a mock-up of my suggestions (I don't even see MS Paint on this computer o_O), so I'm not sure if they're any good or not, but you could try that if you're looking for ideas on how you could move things around.
 
I appreciate your help but I prefer the info at the bottom as usually the name of what x window is is always displayed on top.

Yes ANY idea (And would help if you provide a picture) on how it could be shown better is welcomed mine is a mock-up.

Thanks.
